A fundamental service such as education should not be a burden to the vast citizenry an the lower income bracket. Also, private schools facilitates ease of congestion in schools and allows for more attention by teachers to children.

Education is a right and where you choose to provide that for your child is a personal choice, as such it should not be taxed.

Most parents wants their children to have a sound education, the government schools are not doing a good job, so poor parents work themselves to death to get the money to send their child/children to a private school, so I agree that their should be no 14% VAT on education fees at private schools

While I do not agree with the after school lessons the children really need it as the school system is not design for the children that are slow learners, most poor people children attend these lessons, people who catching their tail to survive, so I agree that these lessons should be VAT free

VAT free Education - Across the Board. Guyanese children - Rich & Poor of all ethnicities and cultures should be guaranteed VAT free education. It is the poor children who are going to the after school classes. That's a Fact!

Government, decision makers. Stop using your CALCULATOR on our children's sacrificed education. Find other means to create revenue. Help create industries so we can benefit. You cannot take more from our hard working pockets, we are a peaceful people and law abiding only sacrifice for a better future for our country and our children comes first. Try not to earn from them now rather create jobs for then when they will be educatedly ready for a better economy. We should not pay vat for education. Love your people. Love the nation and have a educated society whom might advise you one day to come
